By Vangjel Dhimo on February 25th, 2023

Now that you have done your research and prepared your budgeting ahead, it’s time to organize your trip. The next step is to arrange your property viewings in Saranda. If you’re already in Saranda, this book will help you make the most of your time.

Tip 1: Plan Ahead

Make a list of potential homes that you are interested in. Start by browsing online listings and noting down the properties that catch your eye. Having a clear idea of what you want to see will help you stay organized and focused during your trip. This preparation ensures you don’t waste time looking at properties that don’t meet your criteria.

Tip 2: Work with Your Chosen Agent

By now, you should have selected a real estate company and agent to work with. Let your agent schedule several viewings throughout the day. Trust your agent to handle the logistics, they know the area and can plan efficient routes to maximize the number of properties you see. This approach allows you to learn about the market while saving time and effort.

Tip 3: Limit Daily Viewings

Viewing around five properties per day is ideal. Seeing too many can be overwhelming and may impair your judgment. It’s better to focus on a few and take your time to evaluate each one carefully. However, if your stay is short, you might choose to see up to ten properties in one day. Just make sure to take notes and stay organized to keep your impressions clear.

Tip 4: Study the Neighborhood

Consider more than just the house and its location. Think about the neighborhood and its amenities. Do you prefer a gated community, proximity to the beach, schools, or quieter areas with less traffic noise? Spend some time driving or walking around the neighborhood to get a feel for the area. This will help you determine if it fits your lifestyle and preferences.

Tip 5: Visit Homes at Different Times

If you like a property in Saranda during a daytime viewing, visit it again at night. The atmosphere can change significantly, and this might affect your perception of the property. A quiet street during the day might be busier at night, or the lighting in the area might give the property a different feel. Visiting at different times ensures you know what to expect.

Tip 6: Be Honest with Your Feedback

Share your honest opinions about the properties with your agent. If you like something, say so. If you don’t, say it! This feedback helps your agent understand your preferences better and adjust their recommendations. Being clear about your likes and dislikes helps your agent tailor their search and find properties that match your needs exactly.

Tip 7: Stay Flexible

No matter how much you plan, you might change your mind about what you are looking for. Be prepared for your viewings to change. Sometimes a house might not meet your expectations when you see it in person. A good agent will quickly adjust and find the best options for you. Flexibility is key to making the most of your property search and finding the perfect home.

Now that you’ve found the “perfect property in Saranda,” it’s time to start the inspection period known as due diligence and to negotiate with the owners.
